NOVOCAINE
You can take back all your secrets
We'll divide up all the lies
Keep all the pictures in their frames
Cut me out, yeah, I'll be fine
Tell the neighbors all my feelings
Go on and give away my pride
It's hard to laugh and cry, live and die every night
Keep your rolodex of friends
And all the remnants can be mine
I guess there'll be no happy endings
When “once upon” is doing time
There's a different kind of meaning now
To livin' on a prayer
Ah, some don't seem to notice
And the rest don't seem to care
I tell myself I (feel no pain)
But I'm feeling the pain (walk away)
Can't walk away
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope you know
When you're the needle running through my veins
I've changed my name to novocaine
You put my favorite belongings in a box in the garage (let's get this straight)
You burned my favorite sweats from high school
Tried to sell my muscle car (that's not OK)
You're mother's gonna visit for a couple months this year
They say you do the crime, you do the time
It's all so clear
I tell myself I (feel no pain)
But I'm feeling the pain (walk away)
Can't walk away
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope you know
When you're the needle that's running through my veins
I've changed my name to novacaine (feel no pain)

Well things ain't what they used to be
It's a sleepless, self-help century
Man, I'm up to here with Dr. Phil and the modern man in me…
I tell myself I (feel no pain)
But I'm feeling the pain (walk away)
Can't walk away
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope you know
When you're the needle that's running through my veins
I've changed my name to novocaine (feel no pain)
Novocaine
Novocaine
Novocaine (feel no pain)
Novocaine
I feel no pain
It's ok, it's the 21st Century, I'm a 21st Century Man,
gotta get in touch with your inner self, feminine side,
that's all they want, right, I understand,
do what I gotta do is understand, why, I don't know...
